Micah has memory.
It seems to have happened at some point in the last two weeks. We saw a cat at a house down the street when we were walking home one day. Two or three days later, we were walking past the same house and Micah started pointing and saying "Meow." It was the first time I had noticed him remembering something.
Then we took a walk at the reservoir on Thursday night and he was saying "Quack Quack" and looking for ducks. Apparently the morning of Michael's dissertation defense, they took an early morning walk to the reservoir and saw ducks. As far as I can tell, Micah's earliest memory is Michael's dissertation defense date.
He also suddenly remembers lines from his books. He's been singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to himself for weeks, but I'm not sure whether he knows the words or just the tune. However, on Thursday, I went to put him down for a nap and he requested "Cup Pup" (The first rhyme in Hop on Pop). My allergies have come on with a fury and I literally could not read the book because I was sneezing so frequently. It turns out he knows the book himself. "Cup Pup," I turned the page, "House," next page, "All Tall," next page, "Small." I kind of couldn't believe it.
And I kind of can't believe that I didn't notice before that he didn't have memory. It's so noteworthy now that he has it.
